My spouse and I are considering adoption. The thought came to us upon a two-mile stretch of highway, just north of Cheyenne. That particular block of roadway was unclaimed in the “adopt-a-highway” program.
The reason we considered it was that there was absolutely no trash to acquire! As we know, it’s not a particularly highly-traveled path, and citizens who travel it must be pretty sensitive to Mother Earth. Either that, or the Wyoming winds blow it all next door?
Oh, we could adopt and have our names on a sign for those few travelers to see, but I’m pretty sure you have to make some attempt at showing up to care for your little stretch. As lovely as our neighboring state is, we won’t be doing that.
In lieu of the highway, we’re just going to adopt our driveway and try to keep it weed-free, which is no small feat living in this current rainforest.
